Simple Bead Tassel

We like this tassel because of it's versatility. You can use it as a pendant for a necklace of clip it onto a zipper or purse. It can hang from a pull chain for a lamp or fan or in a window or rearview mirror. It is a great way to use up leftover beads from a previous project.

1 - 2" Eyepin
6" of Chain
1 Large Focal Bead
1 Small Lobster Clasp
4 1½ Thin Headpins
Assortment of small beads that compliment the focal bead.
